Mission Statement

"To promote and support community involvement in the development, adoption and evangelism of OpenJDK projects"

Sustainable and Scalable

The Adoption group aims to fulfil that Mission Statement in a sustainable and scalablemanner. The adoption group will likely focus on helping educate new contributors with regards to submitting relevant, high quality patches and supporting existing projects and groups with documentation, infrastructure and evangelism efforts.

Specific Goals

The adoption group aims to:

Lower technical barriers, allowing more developers, JUGs and organisations to get involved in OpenJDK

Improve the quality of Java (the language and the platform) with a focus on testing and clearing technical debt

Promote OpenJDK in the wider Java community

Broaden the base of contributors to OpenJDK

Initiatives

The Adoption Group has several initiatives on the go, a representative sample is below:

Hackdays - Physical or Virtual get togethers to work on OpenJDK projects.

adoptopenjdk.net

Although not an official OpenJDK project, most Adoption Group members are involved in the new shared build farm for OpenJDK at adoptopenjdk.net. This build farm and infrastructure as code will allow OpenJDK developers to build and test OpenJDK on as many versions, variants and platforms as possible.
